The A B C's OF QUITTING SMOKING

Everyone needs help quitting smoking. Even if you want to quit, I've heard and read that quitting is harder than stopping a herion addition ! I've put together a series of suggestions that might help you quit. It helped me to post these suggestions on "post it" notes on my bathroom mirror, car dashboard, and on my desk at work. It takes alot of willpower to quit, but it also takes retraing your mind. After 33 years of this same habit I know what you are going through, but I also know you can do it ! Let me hear from you soon and Good Luck !


B. ON THE DAY YOU QUIT...


• Throw away all your cigarettes and matches. Hide your lighters and ashtrays.

• Visit the dentist and have your teeth cleaned to get rid of tobacco stains. Notice how nice they look, and resolve to keep them that way.

• Make a list of things you'd like to buy for yourself or someone else. Estimate the cost in terms of packs of cigarettes, and put the money aside to buy these presents.

• Keep very busy on the big day. Go to the movies, exercise, take long walks, go bike riding.

• Remind your family and friends that this is your quit date, and ask them to help you over the rough spots of the first couple of days and weeks.

• Buy yourself a treat or do something special to celebrate  You Can Quit Smoking Too
